Bellflower Cabin Air Filter and Engine Air Filter Replacement
Many drivers in Bellflower know that their vehicle has an air filter but most drivers aren’t aware that it has two. Even less people know how valuable they are in keeping you and your vehicle healthy. The more commonly know filter is the engine’s air filter, the other and less known but just as important is the cabin air filter. They both do as they are self described, meaning they “filter air” but work in different areas of your vehicle. Additionally, not all drivers are aware your air filters should be replaced at the intervals recommended by your vehicles manufacturer. But even that might not be frequent enough. If you drive in dusty areas like the freeways in and around Bellflower, and particularly if you go off-road, filters can get dirty quicker, and need to be replaced more often than what’s recommended.
